Shenandoah Mountains

Shenandoah Mountain forms part of the western edge of the Shenandoah Valley, a long and narrow ridge in the eastern Alleghenies. Its crest is capped by sandstone, and Reddish Knob rises above the surrounding heights. To the east lies the broad valley drained by the Shenandoah River; to the west, further ridges and hollows follow the folds of the Appalachians. The mountain stretches for roughly seventy-three miles through this wooded country.
